Burwood Science and Engineering Chsllenge 2024

The University of Newcastle’s BHERT Award winning national Science and Engineering Challenge engages some 30,000 students annually. We’d like you to be part of running our competition days on 25^th and 26^th June.

Engage with students and use your experience to help them overcome a team challenge. Events also provide a great networking opportunity with local community members, schools, universities and industry leaders. For more, view this 2 minute video.
